Pairwise Preference Automatic Metrics Math
  • As agentic AI systems tackle more complex mathematical tasks, they increasingly rely on information retrieval (IR) to search problem databases, theorem libraries, and educational resources.
  • Importantly, we show that general-purpose IR benchmarks such as MTEB do not reliably predict mathematical performance, especially for recent embedding models, highlighting the need for math-specific retrieval benchmarks.

  • Using a human-calibrated LLM judge framework, we show that prior diversity measures are unreliable proxies for approach-level diversity, and this mismatch carries over to diversity-aware RLVR, where target metrics are preserved while…
  • However, optimizing an LLM judge diversity reward during training causes the policy to exploit judge-specific preferences rather than broaden its approaches, leaving direct optimization of approach-level diversity as an open problem.
